TUE 10-16

You can use the Character Animation Tutorials to do your final UNIQUE ANIMATION project.
Use the tutorials but create your own character, your own background, and a modified walk or movement

MON 10-15

Final Project
CREATE YOUR OWN UNIQUE ANIMATION
Use skills that you learned this Cycle to create an animation that has at least 10 time frames.
IDEAS
• Animate a character that reacts to something that changes in the environment

Circles help create the illusion of 3D Form, especially if you add gradients.

• Illustrate a math concept
• Use text
• Use the TRANSFORM TOOL to make objects move from background to forgound.
• Use a MASK on a photograph to isolate an object from its background. (No action script required to do this)
• Use the line tool and different stroke weights

Plan it out. Sketch out the frames on the TIME FRAME SKETCHES sheet.
